What kind of maintenance does the composite material require?
One common misconception is that composite materials are maintenance free. This is not the case. It is true that no painting, staining or sealing is necessary for composite materials. Natural weathering, pollution and mold mildew will collect on any exterior surface. Composite materials need periodic cleaning with water or a mild detergent that is recommended by the manufacturer. How often depends on each project location but typically range from once a year to once every couple years.
